The team headed by Prof. Dr. Helmut Kaulhausen is back from Eritrea. For two weeks, the German doctors and midwives who supported the training of local counterparts. A report by Dr. Julia Wild.
I spent of 14.3. to 28.3. 2014 my first aid mission headed by Professor Helmut Kaulhausen in Asmara , Eritrea . By the time I did not know much about this country and its people. Guide to Eritrea one searches in vain, unfortunately.
My role in this operation was to take care of obstetrics , in particular to the delivery room and the antenatal ward and the development of the residents ( doctors in training) . There have been visits with the residents as well as ultrasound and Teaching in ultrasound.
This task proved to be difficult at times , since the time resources of the residents who should perform caesarean sections and the visits at the same time , were limited and perhaps sometimes lacked the energy for training.
CTG monitoring in the delivery room and Teaching of midwifery
In the delivery room, it was a big challenge to bring the cardiotocography (CTG ) is used as the monitoring of fetal heart tones is just poorly executed . As a result, many newborns come with massive oxygen deficiency as well as lifeless to the world and must be resuscitated . Also during our stay there were several occasions to such situations , which were for the team often taken frightening, sober. The midwives and doctors showed overall very interested in the CTG and it was to both ” bedside teaching ” and was theoretical knowledge taught in a lecture .
Nevertheless, there is only one CTG device is available, which is probably due to the difficult personnel situation rarely used by the midwives at the moment for 8 patients in the delivery room . Therefore, emphasis should be placed on monitoring of the fetus during birth also on subsequent inserts to reduce the rate of oxygen- deficient neonates served in the long term .
Another focus of this mission was , as already mentioned above, the development of the residents . I could during my stay assess their skills in performing the cesarean section, and thereby find good skills.
Overall it was shown in the delivery room , a massive lack of hygiene and human resources. In this regard were made on site talks by Professor Kaulhausen with those responsible . From my perspective, there is still plenty of need for practical training as well as to medical resources such as disinfectants, soap, towels , etc. , in order to enable safe for mother and child birth in hospital can Orotta .
Finally, I would like to thank you for the great organization of the insert as well as in our squad leader Professor Helmut Kaulhausen for his great commitment throughout the deployment .

Das Team um Prof. Dr. Helmut Kaulhausen ist zurück aus Eritrea. Zwei Wochen lang haben die deutschen Ärzte und Hebammen die Ausbildung der einheimsichen Kollegen unterstützt. Ein Bericht von Dr. Julia Wild.
Ich verbrachte von 14.3. bis 28.3. 2014 meinen ersten Hilfseinsatz unter der Leitung von Professor Helmut Kaulhausen in Asmara, Eritrea. Bis lange wusste ich nicht viel über dieses Land und seine Menschen. Reiseführer über Eritrea sucht man leider vergeblich.
Meine Aufgabe bei diesem Einsatz war es, mich um die Geburtshilfe, im speziellen um den Kreissaal und die präpartale Station sowie die Weiterbildung der Residents (Ärzten in Ausbildung) zu kümmern. Es wurden Visiten mit den Residents sowie Ultraschalluntersuchungen und Teaching im Ultraschall durchgeführt.
Diese Aufgabe gestaltete sich zeitweise schwierig, da die zeitlichen Ressourcen der Residents, die gleichzeitig Kaiserschnitte sowie die Visiten durchführen sollten, begrenzt waren und vielleicht auch manchmal die Energie zur Weiterbildung fehlte.
CTG Überwachung im Kreißsaal sowie Teaching der Hebammen
Im Kreissaal war es ein großes Herausforderung, die Cardiotokographie (CTG) zum Einsatz zu bringen, da die Überwachung der fetalen Herztöne nur mangelhaft durchgeführt wird. Als Folge davon kommen viele Neugeborene mit massiven Sauerstoffmangelzuständen sowie auch leblos zur Welt und müssen reanimiert werden. Auch während unseres Aufenthaltes kam es mehrfach zu solchen Situationen, welche für das Team oft erschreckend, nüchtern hingenommen wurden. Die Hebammen und Ärzte zeigten sich insgesamt sehr am CTG interessiert und es erfolgte dazu sowohl “bedside teaching“ als auch wurde theoretisches Wissen in einer Vorlesung vermittelt.
Dennoch steht im Moment für 8 Patientinnen im Kreissaal nur ein CTG Gerät zur Verfügung, welches vermutlich auf Grund der schwierigen Personalsituation von den Hebammen nur selten benutzt wird. Daher sollte auch bei zukünftigen Einsätzen ein Schwerpunkt auf die Überwachung des Feten unter der Geburt gelegt werden, um die Rate an sauerstoffmangelversorgten Neugeborenen langfristig zu senken.
Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt dieses Einsatzes war, wie bereits oben erwähnt, die Weiterbildung der Residents. Ich konnte während meines Aufenthalts deren Kenntnisse bei der Durchführung des Kaiserschnitts begutachten und dabei gute Fertigkeiten feststellen.
Insgesamt zeigte sich im Kreissaal ein massiver Mangel an Hygiene und personellen Ressourcen. Diesbezüglich erfolgten vor Ort Gespräche von Professor Kaulhausen mit den jeweiligen Verantwortlichen. Aus meiner Sicht besteht noch reichlich Bedarf an praktischer Weiterbildung sowie an medizinischen Ressourcen wie Desinfektionsmittel, Seife, Tüchern etc., um eine für Mutter und Kind sichere Entbindung im Orotta Hospital ermöglichen zu können.
Abschließend möchte ich mich für die großartige Organisation des Einsatzes sowie auch bei unserem Einsatzleiter Professor Helmut Kaulhausen für sein großes Engagement während des gesamten Einsatzes bedanken.

Eritrean Health Care: (Google Translation from Germany Article) “Pediatric cardiac surgery, there were by then in East Africa not yet,” says the Wesselingerin Karin Adam. Volunteers from the Rhein-Erft help children with heart disease in Eritrea. Now, normally two children Operates daily.
Wesseling / Kerpen.
The OP looks like he was in a hospital in Germany . Heart -lung machine , sterile surgical instruments , a well-lit operating table . And yet, the equipment has been transported thousands of miles by land and sea to the Eritrean capital Asmara. But the Wesselingerin Karin Adam takes twice a year to travel in the north-east Africa upon themselves to there to help children with heart disease . She works there as surgical nurse – free of charge and the last 14 years .
“Many children have no chance without this surgery and would die soon ,” says the 69 -year-old , 25 years senior surgical nurse was in the children’s heart surgery at the hospital of St. Augustine. Sometime was her former boss Dr. Andreas Urban , director of the Heart Center in St. Augustine , approached her and asked if she could imagine to help sick children in Eritrea and to accompany him. “I do not know yet ,” she had then responded , she says frankly . After some deliberation, she ended up being ready to take on the task and to travel to Africa.
” Pediatric cardiac surgery , there were by then in East Africa not yet,” she says, and so had to be taken to Eritrea before the first trip all the material necessary for the operations of Germany with . Weeks it took until the container was packed with medical equipment , bandages and medicines. The team , about 30 people , ranging from surgeon to technicians for medical devices, comes from all over Germany . A colleague of Karin Adam , which also helps , Dr. Anne Marie Brecher from Kerpen Buir – , which also belongs to the German medical team . There are also two teams from Italy and one from Switzerland, who are committed to the organization Archemed . You will cover the travel costs for the helpers and raises funds with which the wards are equipped . Since 2002, over 400 children have been helped .
The families of sick children often take day-long marches upon himself to get in the hope of help. ” Most children have a hole in the heart . The fact that the circuit is not enough oxygen , the body is weak , “she explained. “The children have only a short life expectancy . ”
The operation, which – would put the children to Germany and operates here , it would cost 20 000 euros – gives children a chance at a healthy life. Two children a day are operated usually in which up to four hours of continuous operation – in particularly difficult cases, it also takes longer.
Kinderherzchirurgie in Eritrea Chance auf ein gesundes Leben
„Kinderherzchirurgie gab es bis dahin in Ostafrika noch nicht“, sagt die Wesselingerin Karin Adam. Freiwillige aus dem Rhein-Erft-Kreis helfen herzkranken Kindern in Eritrea. Nun werden in der Regel zwei Kinder täglich Operiert.
Wesseling/Kerpen.
Der OP sieht aus, als stünde er in einem Krankenhaus in Deutschland. Herz-Lungen-Maschine, sterile Operationsinstrumente, ein gut ausgeleuchteter OP-Tisch. Und doch ist die Ausrüstung Tausende von Kilometern auf dem Land- und Seeweg transportiert worden bis in die eritreische Hauptstadt Asmara. Aber auch die Wesselingerin Karin Adam nimmt jedes Jahr zweimal die Reise in den Nordosten Afrikas auf sich, um dort herzkranken Kindern zu helfen. Sie arbeitet dort als Operationsschwester – unentgeltlich und das seit 14 Jahren.
„Viele Kinder hätten ohne diese Operation keine Chance und würden bald sterben“, sagt die 69-Jährige, die 25 Jahre lang leitende OP-Schwester in der Kinderherzchirurgie im Krankenhaus St. Augustin war. Irgendwann sei ihr damaliger Chef Dr. Andreas Urban, Leiter des Herzzentrums in St. Augustin, auf sie zugekommen und habe gefragt, ob sie sich vorstellen könne, kranken Kindern in Eritrea zu helfen und ihn zu begleiten. „Das weiß ich jetzt noch nicht“, habe sie damals geantwortet, sagt sie offen. Nach einiger Überlegung war sie dann aber bereit, die Aufgabe zu übernehmen und mit nach Afrika zu reisen.
„Kinderherzchirurgie gab es bis dahin in Ostafrika noch nicht“, sagt sie, und so musste vor der ersten Reise alles für die Operationen nötige Material von Deutschland mit nach Eritrea genommen werden. Wochen habe es gedauert, bis der Container mit medizinischem Gerät, Verbandsmaterialien und Medikamenten gepackt war. Das Team, rund 30 Leute, angefangen vom Operateur bis hin zu Techniker für die medizinischen Apparate, kommt aus ganz Deutschland. Eine Kollegin von Karin Adam, die auch hilft, ist Dr. Annemarie Brecher aus Kerpen-Buir, die ebenfalls zu dem deutschen Ärzteteam gehört. Daneben gibt es noch zwei Teams aus Italien und eines aus der Schweiz, die sich für die Organisation Archemed engagieren. Sie übernimmt die Reisekosten für die Helfer und sammelt Spenden, mit denen die Krankenstationen ausgerüstet werden. Seit 2002 wurde über 400 Kindern geholfen.
Die Familien der kranken Kinder nehmen oft tagelange Fußmärsche auf sich, in der Hoffnung, Hilfe zu bekommen. „Die meisten Kinder haben ein Loch im Herzen. Dadurch, dass der Kreislauf nicht ausreichend mit Sauerstoff versorgt wird, sind die Körper schwach“, erläutert sie. „Die Kinder haben nur eine geringe Lebenserwartung.“
Die Operation, die – würden die Kinder nach Deutschland gebracht und hier operiert, 20 000 Euro kosten würde – gibt den Kindern die Chance auf ein gesundes Leben. Zwei Kinder pro Tag werden in der Regel bei dem bis zu vier Stunden dauernden Eingriff operiert – bei besonders schwierigen Fällen dauert es auch länger.
Eritrean Health Care: It has been reported by local media outlets that Sudan’s Health Minister have been in Eritrea for a working visit. This visit is indeed an indication of the endeavors the two countries have been exerting to foster a healthy partnership which would open a door for skill transfer and complementarity among medical professionals of these two nations. Such like visits would not only pave way for a transfer of skill but the health ministries of Eritrea and Republic Sudan would get an updated information about infrastructural capability that are related to healthcare and technological breakthroughs that could be hardly imagined to be a possession of these two neighboring countries.
It is, therefore, natural for the two parties to share the grace they have at hand rather than do everything in their own. What is missing in Sudan would be better fulfilled with that of Eritrea’s and what is lacking in Eritrea would also be efficiently complemented from that of Sudan’s. This way they could even solve medical problems that is outside of their realm for they would collectively work to find a better solution.
There have been numerous agreements that have been reached between the health ministries of Eritrea and Republic of Sudan. The recent working visit by Mr. Bahr Idris Abu Gara, Republic Sudan’s Minister of Health, is just a continuation of the already reached agreements that is aimed at exploiting mutual technical and educational opportunities in the health sector besides laying groundwork for higher collaboration.
The Fred Hollows Intra Ocular Laboratory (IOL) is first of its kind not only in Eritrea but also throughout Africa. Hence, the recent visit by the Sudanese delegation to such an asset which is a pride not only for Eritrea but also at a regional level indeed benefits both neighboring countries for it would enable them for a mutual share of technological advance. It would enable the Sudanese get a clue about the items produced in the Intra Ocular Laboratory and there by it could open a gate for import and export activity.
This is indeed a good reason which could motivate the two countries reach different agreements in the health domain. Healthcare facility that is first of its kind in Sudan but which is not available in the Eastern Africa or else in most parts of the continent is indeed an asset for Eritrea as Eritrea is geographically the closet country to make use of the facilities available in Sudan.
Mr. Bahr Idris Abu Gara has not only visited Fred Hollows Intra Ocular Laboratory but also made similar visits to Orotta National Referral Hospital Southern region’s Regional Referral Hospital in Mendefera.
The recent visit was not only confined to making visits to healthcare institutions of the country but the two parties made extensive discussions in different medical issues that seek mutual cooperation. In the course of the meetings conducted with different Eritrean healthcare experts and notably with Ms. Amna Nur-Hussein, Eritrea’s Health Minister both sides extensively discussed implementation of the mutual agreements as regards partnership in health sector signed by both Governments in 2012, in addition to the existing opportunities concerning different technical and educational dimensions within the domain.
As regards his recent visit to Eritrea, Mr. Bahar said that the visit is just part of the growing relations of partnership between Eritrea and the Republic of Sudan, and that it is aimed at conducting discussing as regards harnessing mutual technical and educational opportunities in the healthcare sector as well as paving smooth ground for higher collaboration.
The future of such healthy initiatives of fostering good partnership has been witnessing commendable development and such sprit of mutual cooperation would be by far enhanced with the implementations of programs mapped out back in 2012. Thus, the two Ministers of health conducted extensive discussion on the progress of the agreement reached by both sides in 2012 on the health sector as well as on future cooperation on technical and training opportunities.

Health Care: Take advantage of every drop of coffee
For many people, coffee is an aromatic and energizing beverage without which they cannot start the day. Consumed in moderation, coffee is extremely beneficial to the human body. It prevents premature aging, cancer, diabetes and depression.
Eritrean cup of coffee
Coffee has a stimulating effect on general health. Those of us who start the day with a cup of coffee will tell you that they feel immediately refreshed and ready for the whole day.
Women who regularly consume caffeinated coffee are less prone to depression. It is however advisable to consume only 1-2 cups of coffee per day. In large amounts, coffee is harmful to the human body.
Drinking a cup of coffee after a meal is more than a relaxing habit. When you drink coffee after a meal, your body digests easier, the food you’ve eaten. Caffeine stimulates the stomach and increases metabolic rate.
However, it is recommended to drink only one cup of coffee a day and watch the foods you eat.
Caffeine has a positive effect on sperm quality and significantly increases the chances of having children. A recent study conducted at the University of Sao Paolo (Brazil) revealed that men who drank coffee regularly had a higher fertility rate than those who drank no coffee.
The recommended daily Quantity is 1-3 cups a day.
Moderate exposure to sunlight and use sunscreen creams are the main steps you can take to prevent skin cancer. Coffee is a factor that can keep away this terrible disease. A recent study shows that women who drink up to three cups of coffee per day have lower risk of skin cancer. The active substances in coffee inhibit the growth of cancer cells and protect the skin.
Even if there are many people who say they cannot start the day without a cup of hot coffee, researchers disagree.
Caffeine is a mild stimulant, but without the harmful effects of drugs. Caffeine can be eliminated or reduced in the diet without serious physical or psychological problems.
People who consume large amounts of coffee experience symptoms such as fatigue and irritability when reducing coffee consumption. These symptoms disappear after a few days.
People who consume daily between 1-3 cups of coffee are less prone to diabetes. The effects are the same for coffee without caffeine.
People who drink coffee at breakfast are more alert mentally speaking, have a high tone, are more effective in exams and they learn more easily. Coffee improves cognitive function as we age.
Coffee is a plant and, like most plants, contains highly beneficial nutrients for the human body.
Coffee is rich in phytochemicals, natural substances that help prevent many diseases.
Coffee contains antioxidants that prevent the harmful effects of free radicals and premature aging.

Kinderherzchirurgie in Eritrea Chance auf ein gesundes Leben
„Kinderherzchirurgie gab es bis dahin in Ostafrika noch nicht“, sagt die Wesselingerin Karin Adam. Freiwillige aus dem Rhein-Erft-Kreis helfen herzkranken Kindern in Eritrea. Nun werden in der Regel zwei Kinder täglich Operiert.
Wesseling/Kerpen.
Der OP sieht aus, als stünde er in einem Krankenhaus in Deutschland. Herz-Lungen-Maschine, sterile Operationsinstrumente, ein gut ausgeleuchteter OP-Tisch. Und doch ist die Ausrüstung Tausende von Kilometern auf dem Land- und Seeweg transportiert worden bis in die eritreische Hauptstadt Asmara. Aber auch die Wesselingerin Karin Adam nimmt jedes Jahr zweimal die Reise in den Nordosten Afrikas auf sich, um dort herzkranken Kindern zu helfen. Sie arbeitet dort als Operationsschwester – unentgeltlich und das seit 14 Jahren.
„Viele Kinder hätten ohne diese Operation keine Chance und würden bald sterben“, sagt die 69-Jährige, die 25 Jahre lang leitende OP-Schwester in der Kinderherzchirurgie im Krankenhaus St. Augustin war. Irgendwann sei ihr damaliger Chef Dr. Andreas Urban, Leiter des Herzzentrums in St. Augustin, auf sie zugekommen und habe gefragt, ob sie sich vorstellen könne, kranken Kindern in Eritrea zu helfen und ihn zu begleiten. „Das weiß ich jetzt noch nicht“, habe sie damals geantwortet, sagt sie offen. Nach einiger Überlegung war sie dann aber bereit, die Aufgabe zu übernehmen und mit nach Afrika zu reisen.
„Kinderherzchirurgie gab es bis dahin in Ostafrika noch nicht“, sagt sie, und so musste vor der ersten Reise alles für die Operationen nötige Material von Deutschland mit nach Eritrea genommen werden. Wochen habe es gedauert, bis der Container mit medizinischem Gerät, Verbandsmaterialien und Medikamenten gepackt war. Das Team, rund 30 Leute, angefangen vom Operateur bis hin zu Techniker für die medizinischen Apparate, kommt aus ganz Deutschland. Eine Kollegin von Karin Adam, die auch hilft, ist Dr. Annemarie Brecher aus Kerpen-Buir, die ebenfalls zu dem deutschen Ärzteteam gehört. Daneben gibt es noch zwei Teams aus Italien und eines aus der Schweiz, die sich für die Organisation Archemed engagieren. Sie übernimmt die Reisekosten für die Helfer und sammelt Spenden, mit denen die Krankenstationen ausgerüstet werden. Seit 2002 wurde über 400 Kindern geholfen.
Die Familien der kranken Kinder nehmen oft tagelange Fußmärsche auf sich, in der Hoffnung, Hilfe zu bekommen. „Die meisten Kinder haben ein Loch im Herzen. Dadurch, dass der Kreislauf nicht ausreichend mit Sauerstoff versorgt wird, sind die Körper schwach“, erläutert sie. „Die Kinder haben nur eine geringe Lebenserwartung.“
Die Operation, die – würden die Kinder nach Deutschland gebracht und hier operiert, 20 000 Euro kosten würde – gibt den Kindern die Chance auf ein gesundes Leben. Zwei Kinder pro Tag werden in der Regel bei dem bis zu vier Stunden dauernden Eingriff operiert – bei besonders schwierigen Fällen dauert es auch länger.

Eritrean News: Eritrea has achieved impressive progress on health-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), members of the United Nations and the Government observed here in an event organized during the UN General Assembly.
The discussion was hosted by the Permanent Mission of Eritrea to the United Nations, the UN Resident Coordinator in Asmara, Christine Umutoni, with the Foreign Minister of Eritrea, Osman Saleh and Yoka Brandt, the Deputy Executive Director of UNICEF as keynote speakers.
In more than twenty years since independence, the Eastern African country reduced child mortality by two thirds, decreased the maternal mortality ratio from 1,700 to 380 per 100,000 live births, and maintained exceptionally low HIV and tuberculosis prevalence rates.
Around 98 percent of all children are now immunized, as compared with 14 percent only at independence.

“Eritrea has emerged from 30 years of a devastating war, with non-existing infrastructural, institutional and human resources capacity,” said Osman Saleh. “It has been able to make real progress in all areas of social, economic and political development,” he added.
Eritrea’s concerted efforts, bold policies and considerable investments are considered responsible for the dramatic changes in the health sector.
“What we see as development partners, what is responsible for this success is community participation, the enabling environment, leadership, strong mechanisms for prevention, value for money and coordinated inter-sectoral approaches,” said Christine Umutoni.
She added that community and women’s involvement were key to tackling health challenges.
Ms. Umutoni also pointed out that the country has put into place a number of innovations to accelerate change. These include temporary maternal clinics, mobile medical units, as well as knowledge of migration patterns and remote areas.
Generating statistics, sustaining funding, partnerships with the private sector and human resource capacity were identified as priorities.
Participants agreed that success on MDGs 4,5 and 6 should serve as lessons for all other goals and targets, and inform priorities for the post-2015 development agenda in Eritrea.
Keynote addresses were followed by technical presentations by Abraham Kidane, Economic Advisor to the Ministry of Development, and Usman Abdulmumini, WHO representative in Eritrea.
